I have posted on several threads before regarding French and Spanish resources that we have used/are using, but I decided to do an updated list and collate everything I have here. This is also for my own benefit since I am reorganizing and taking stock of all the resources that I have in order to prepare for the new school year this coming fall.    By the way, a lot of these resources can be found in your local library (or via interlibrary loan), and I got a lot of my books/audiobooks cheap on eBay or on sale from the publishers.

1) Audio CDs

Quite helpful, thanks for sharing!

[aangeles]

I forgot to mention that the Martine books are also available as interactive Ipad books, in French, English, and Dutch. You can choose to have the book read to you, or touch each word to have it pronounced, or you can read it by yourself. There are interactive definitions and explanations of difficult vocab words, and games at the end of each book. Quite lovely and one of Ella's fave apps.

aangeles,

I admired how you teach your daughter to learn 5 languages in Video contest.  I saw all the lists of French materials that you have posted above. I wonder whether your daughter learn all French materials or not? how old did your daughter learn French? Which DVDs, CDs, books did she learn first? do you recomemd me in short lists  of French materials I MUST buy to teach French? Thanks in advance.
